Read excerpt
Raised my nephew for much of my teens (my sister, 10 years older, lived at home). I was a surrogate parent before I was even an adult myself. That early taste of "parenthood" left me terrified to have my own kids until I met my husband and knew it would be different.

I almost died on that table. Then I had to fight to breastfeed my own baby, after being told my infertility was the reason th

LOCAL EDITION EPISODE! Leah and I have four children. I was in graduate school when we met, and then I worked on the road as a PSYCH NP in Prisons, when we had our first three kids. After every pregnancy, Leah had postpartum depression, but after our third child, it was severe and coupled with the onset of COVID.

Read excerpt
You don’t truly grasp a challenge until you face it yourself. As a physician, I understood the gaps in postpartum care—but as a new mom, I lived them courtesy of my four sons. Collectively, I have endured postpartum depression, perinatal anxiety, uterine infection, 3-4 degree tears, c-section, natural delivery, pre-eclampsia, VBACs, breastfeeding struggles--and the American healthcare system failed me. I am physician, more specifically a pediatrician, neonatologist, and lactation specialist. Wit
